A Bird Orphan Asylum.

Mr.. Whitehead, of Cleveland, thus
tells how little incident of his boy

his sympathies for the dumb and help

wood-shed at my boyhood home, what
should see but pewee sitting up
there on beam. Instantly missile found
it's way into my hand, and threw, and
the poor little pewee fell on the ground,
dead. Remorse Immediately clutched
me. I climbed to the roof, and, as
suspected, there were two little help
less and now motherless pewees. I
could do nothing less but adopt them.
had deprived them of their natural
protector, and now it was no more
than meet that should be responsible
for them. But couldn't carry them
around in my hands or pockets, and
they would die in a cage. I cast about
for an orphan asylum for them. For
tunately, I found a robins nest in
which the young were about the size
of my proteges. made a humane inn
position upon the robin mother. She
didn't mind. I watched that nest
daily, and was overjoyed to see the lit
tie orphans fly gleefully away one
summer day, and, of course, could
never identify them afterward, al
though perhaps I saw them often, but
I never met pewee after that but

A Young Inventor.

Carlyle says that you can tell how

he sings. However this may be, it is
certainly true in nine cases out of ten
that you can tell what sort of man n
boy will make from seeing him at play.
when obliged to stay indoors, without
q companion. Sir William Armstrong.
the artillery engineer, was a delicate
boy, and one winter, when six years
old, was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself, he set sew
eral old spinning-wheels in motion by
means of weights descending on strings
from top to bottom of the house over
the staircase ratings. Friends and
relatives bought mechanical toys for
the little prisoner, which he at once
pulled to pieces. They attributed the
habit to child's passion for destroy
ing things. not supposing that the little
six-year-old was bent on discovering
their construction. 1t was not satis-
factory to him to see "Jack" jump up
in the box when the lid was raised; he
would know what made "Jack" spring
up.
The boy passed into young manhood,
and his father, seeing nothing oxtraor-
dinary in his sons mechanical gifts,
put him into lawyers Office, where
he remained, as student and junior
partner, for more than thirteen years.
One day, while casting fish-linc near
a rustic mill, the water-wheel attracted
his attention, because it was fed by q
rill above, which descended from q
height of nearly hundred feet. See
ing that only twenty feet of the descent
were utilized, he pondered the ques-
ton: 'Why not use the whole descent
of the stream as motive power?"
A swinging lamp in church sug-
gested to Galileo the pendulum as
means of measuring time, and the
young lawyer saw in the descending
rill power for hydraulic crane. He
invented one, and it attracted the at
tcntion of leading engineers. The new
crane, however, met with strong oppo-
stion. Mr.. Hartley, the engineer of
the Liverpool Docks, poo-poohed at it
for long time, refusing to examine it.
He was one of those conservative men
who think that what is useful is old,
and what is new is worthless. Youths

CONSUMPTION CURE.
The Novel Treatment Devised by Prom
inent French Physician.


inent French Physician.
A novel method of treating patients
suffering from phthisis is described in
the current number CT the Medical Rec
ord. 1t was devised by French physi-
clan, Dr. Bergeon, of Lyons. who has
been applying it for two years to cases
of chronic pulmonary and throat dis
ease. The results are said to be re-
markable. In acute general phthisis
there has been an arrest of the progress
of the disease and cure in a few
months. In advanced consumption
marked Improvement of symptoms is
rapidly secured, night-sweats ceasing
and the cough becoming less harassing.
Two hundred cases have been treated
with singular success by DR.. Bergeon in
Lyons, where the climate is unfavora-
BILE for consumptives. His methods
have been introduced in the hospitals
there and in Paris. and the medical au-
thorities are favorably impressed withit
The treatment consists of daily injec-
tions by enema of medicated gases.
Carbonic acid gas when introduced into
the system by this method is found to
be harmless and painless. Sulphuretted
hydrogen is mingled with it, the entire
structure of the lungs is permeated by
the medicated gas and remarkable cur
ative effects are observed. The carbonic
acid gas is practically inert when taken
up by the veins of the intestines, but
the sulphurous gas reaches every par
ticle of diseased tissue in the lungs and
throat, and is eliminated from the sys-
tenn in the process of expiration. The
volume of gas used is very large. At
the outset single litre is introduced,
but the quantity is rapidly increased
to ten or twelve litres for each injection.
The results of this new system of treat
ing consumption are so well vouched
for that we commend the subject to the
critical examination of medical circles
in this country. Consumption is the
chief scourge of this country. Any de-
parture in therapeutics so radical as
this French method deserves to be thor
oughly investigated and adequately
tested in American hospitals. DR.. Ber-
geon is not a sciolist, but reputable
physician of large practice and good
standing. If his method be us effective
and successful rs he asserts, it merits
general attention from the profession
in the United States.-N Y. Tribune.
